Reproduction Steps
set osd-color in mpv.conf and the console will inherit the color
Expected Behavior
The console color can be changed using script-opts-append = console-font_color=FFFFFF
Actual Behavior
While the stats page can independently set its color using script-opts-append = stats-font_color=FFFFFF, the console doesn't have an option to modify its color
Log File
Unnecessary
Sample Files
No response
I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
- I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
- I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
- I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of
--log-file=output.txt. - I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
- I attached the full, untruncated log file.
- I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Research direction
Start by inspecting commit 19537a4 and the console option handling for osd-color and script-opts-append. Reproduce the behavior with mpv.conf and verify that a console-font_color option can independently control the console color without changing the stats page behavior.
